Bl. Comm. 453; 2 Kent, 585. As the bailee recovered the whole
value of the goods, the old reason, that he was answerable over,
has in some cases become a new rule, (seemingly based on a
misunderstanding,) that the bailee is a trustee for the bailor as
to the excess over his own damage. Cf. Lyle v. Barker, 5 Binn.
457, 460; 7 Cowen, 68l, n.; White v. Webb, 15 Conn. 302, 305; in
the order cited. (Thence the new rule has been extended to
insurance recovered by a bailee. 1 Hall, N. Y. 84, 91; 3 Kent's
Comm. (12th ed.), 371, 376, n. 1 (a).) In this form it ceases to
be a reason for allowing the action.

172/4 In one instance, where, against the opinion of Brian, the
bailor was allowed to sue for damage to the chattel by a
stranger, the action seems to have been case. Y.B. 12 Ed. IV. 13,

thought a corrupt text (Guterbock, Bracton, by Coxe, p. 175; 2
